ive been reading old threads and it seems there is a problem fitting 52mm gauges in the slot, but...

 

What is the problem?

ok, answered my own question today, the bezel on the gauges hits the console surround.

 

Nevermind tho, i found a way around it :)

any further info on that bud ??

yeah, the slots in the zed are not standard din slot sizes on the outside of the facia, only behind, which means you cannot fit 52mm gauges into the slot with the bezel on the outside.

 

I however have just pushed out the din gauge adapter thingy i baught by using one bolt in each corner and washers and nuts behind the facia so its stuck solid. easy peasy,

I'll post a pic soon, just waiting on my other gauges and im going to replace the bolts with eigher black ones or cover the holder in trim. cant decide yet

I plan to have 3 gauges in that slot if they fit so thanks for extra info and yeah any pics would be good think legrath posted one on a thread for us a short while ago

 

thanks chris

have my 60mm gauges in my car :)

 

 

cut a 2mm sheet of aluminium, cut 3 holes and stuck in!

 

:)

and where is your screw cover?

screw cover?

 

i had to cut something out behind it, presume this is what your on about.

 

just twists/snaps out by hand.

 

60mm fits just about, 52mm youl have no probs.

 

i can give you the guys details who made the metal plate if you want?

 

cost a tenner! just make a cardboard template and post to him and thats is.

Heres mine. bit of an issue getting the boost gauge in there, but seeing its smaller than the others it goes in there ok now
